Capcom Vancouver has removed the time-sensitive gameplay of the previous Dead Rising games from Dead Rising 3, but they do provide a 'nightmare mode' where "time is tight" and saves are restricted to washrooms.

They didn't want that as the default experience as they open it up to newcomers. It's a "much grittier game" set 10 years after Dead Rising 2; has three times the zombies.

Dead Rising 2 developer Capcom Vancouver has announced in its twitter feed that the studio has cut 7% of its workforce today. The developer, however, added, "We’re still growing and aggressively seeking great talent."
